An Asian woman and her daughter were caught assaulting an unhoused Black man on a video recently shared on X, the platform formally known as Twitter. The video was shared by Don Salmon on Sept. 21 and appears to show a man being assaulted on a busy New York City street.
The video of the two women featured them seemingly trying to get the man to move away from the area where he was sleeping in front of a business called “Creature World.” The daughter appears to try to get the man to move before the mother is seen hitting and kicking the man.
“All we want is a Hate crime bill,” replied one X user. “For reasons like this!”
“This is sad. It looks like they’re trying to take something from him. That man has enough to deal with,” added one.
“It amazes me to see we are so hated by everyone when they all came from us,” another X user noted.
The video has been viewed more than 133,000 times so far.
After the daughter saw that she and her mother were being filmed, she tried to stop her mother from assaulting the man further, to no avail. The mother also saw that she was being recorded but stood up and kicked the man as he sat on the concrete. A voice recording of the video advised the women that they were committing a crime by assaulting the man.
